So I put up a raffle yesterday with no predetermined length that I was going to end manually on Friday, but when I logged in today, I got a message that the raffle had ended already. I know I must have made a mistake somewhere - perhaps it ended when I logged off - but I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Does anyone know the problem? I'm not annoyed or anything, I just wanted to allow more people to get a ticket since it was free.

A raffle box without a time limit will stick around as long as it is possible to do so. It will stick around long after you have logged off. Now the question is how long is it possible to stick around, and that is determined largely by the zone in which it is deployed and the activity there. So in a zone like Serbule, there are tons of objects being created and destroyed on the ground all the time. This means the clean up of the box is going to come much sooner. In a low traffic zone, it take much longer(if ever) for the call to despawn to come.

Hope I explained this well.

Ah, I see. I suppose it would have been better to place it in the Casino then, although perhaps less people would have had access to it.

Thank you very much! 134 people did participate, so it was still a success.
